Unaccompanied Minors

When your child travels with us as an unaccompanied minor, we ensure they will be cared for all through the journey by our well trained staff.

A child between 5 to 12 years of age, travelling alone or with one or more guests who have not yet completed 18 years will be considered an unaccompanied minor for domestic and international travel.

Jet Airways will accept unaccompanied minors with an itinerary involving connecting flights on other airlines subject to the acceptance policies of all the other airlines on the itinerary. We ensure that an unaccompanied minor is never left unattended throughout the journey. Unaccompanied minors are seated near the galley to ensure they are looked after by our crew at all times.

At the destination, the unaccompanied minor is handed over only to the person stated in the Unaccompanied Minor Form. Proof of identity will be requested before handing over the child to the designated person.

Our Unaccompanied Minor service can be purchased at our ticketing counters and through our call centre on IVR.

Our Unaccompanied Minor service cannot be availed for codeshare and interline flights. Guests must contact the respective operating airline/s for acceptance of unaccompanied minors, reservations and ticketing.

Unaccompanied Minor (UMNR) - International Travel

In addition to the procedure mentioned above the following points will be applicable for International travel.

We will not accept an unaccompanied minor if the journey involves an overnight stay. However, in the event of a flight being diverted to another station, a female staff will accompany the child in the hotel room until departure of the flight.

If a UMNR has an onward connecting flight on Jet Airways or any other airline and an overnight stay is involved, a person must be nominated by the parents or guardians to collect the child on arrival at the point of transfer and remain with the child until he or she has been placed in the care of the ground staff handling the onward connecting flight. If, the parents or guardians are unable to nominate such a person, Jet Airways will be unable to accept the UMNR for travel.

If the onward connecting flight is on Jet Airways but departs from another airport in the same city, or another terminal, we will transfer the UMNR provided the connecting time is 4 hours or less.

If the onward connecting flight is on another airline, departing from the same terminal or another terminal which can be easily accessed without exiting the terminal building, we will transfer the UMNR to the connecting carrier provided the connecting time is 4 hours or less.

If the onward connecting flight is on another airline and departs from another airport in the same city or another terminal that cannot be accessed without exiting the terminal building, a person must be nominated by the parents or guardians to collect the UMNR at the transfer point and further hand over him or her to the onward airline.
